Hello ladies,


Recently, I've been working on my inner issues or demons, as they are colorfully called.

 


Hugs,


Sebastian

Acknowledgement of, and working to resolve, those inner demons (or shadows as my spiritual belief refers to them) is, I think, an important part of living an intentional life.

I've been working on facing my inner issues for several years and probably will for a while longer, mostly through counseling. I don't have much time these days for self-reflection, so my therapist and Caly are my primary sources for helping me explore and deal with my issues. I made a tremendous amount of progress when I first started counseling and have been maintaining for a long time. One thing that helped was finding the love of my life!


Good for you, Sebastian, for taking such good care of your mental health. That's so important. I hope you will continue to have success! Thanks for sharing and asking such a great question.


Hugs

Good topic, Sebastian ! I just said goodbye to the best therapist I have ever had Tuesday and I cried. She is moving on in her career. but she has been able to pull out of all my babbling I do when

Hey, Seb. Good thread.


I am always working on the inner demons. I can see that I have gone through much growth in my life. The huge demon

I feel like I'm always trying to work on something! When I was 21 I realized I had too much baggage weighing me down. I was depressed, anxious, and having wake me up screaming nightmares almost every night. I went into therapy for a bit over a year. It was a very good experiance for me. I had someone who I didn't have to take care of, her job was to take care of me!I dealt with the pain that I had been carrying around for so long and learned to just let it go. I took anti depressants for 3 years total then weaned off and I haven't needed them since.

The demon I'm dealing with right now is my Mom. I've made the decision to not allow her to be a part of my life anymore. I've just hit my limit with her. She in no way enriches my life, she makes me miserable. She delights in making me miserable. She doesn't seem to want contact with me or to work on our issues. She feels like the best thing for me would be to leave Shelley and to go find a man. I refuse to take relationship advice from someone on husband #7. And I refuse to take life lessons from someone who has been chronically unhappy for the last 67 years!

Sorry, I got to rambling.
